It's one player, with the employees from his company.
There is the suggestion that the photo is from Xmas 2019, but obviously, only one person knows if that's true.

OK. It was a photo from Instagram I think of a lot of Shrewsbury players together in a house. It was posted on Christmas Eve by one of the players saying it had been a tough year but they had got through.
There was some debate whether it was a photo taken on Christmas Eve or not. But that's when it was posted.

If Villa are unable to field a recognisable first team I would expect the game to be postponed, in the same way as several previous matches involving other clubs have been.
I'm also wondering if the World Cup Qualifiers can start in March given likely travel restrictions on cross-border sport.Last edited by Satchmo Distel; 09-01-2021, 16:50.

Yeah I don't think it's right to assume that playing football is very low risk right now. It might well be worth trying to work out ways of eliminating communal changing, showers, travel etc though, sure.Last edited by DCI Harry Batt; 09-01-2021, 16:54.

I think it's giving an air of normality which is making people complacent. France is looking like it's ending cross border sport, Ray posted on that in the rugby thread.

I'm in the middle on this. Surely actually playing carries few risks (open air and so on) and the danger would come from shared dressing rooms, communal showers, team coaches etc. But there are ways to lessen these hazards. Or players enjoying private parties, but that's not a pre footballing matter. That said, people who are needed in the stadiums for the games to be able to take place may be more at risk.

York manager Steve Watson tests positive. Might mean we play a little more positively for the next couple of weeks...

I think it's obvious that leagues cannot be completed in full now - but surely there must be a number of options that could be considered as well as null & void? Play each other once? Rescind last season's league cancellations (is that even possible?) and combine those results with whatever gets completed this season?

I just spotted that, and came here to see if the news had been shared already.

The Boro have also closed their training ground due to an outbreak and expect to be fielding a load of U-23s at Brentford in the FA Cup.
